That means senior-level attention, targeted evaluation, and direct communication from the start of the search through the hire.

Chief Revenue Officer

Oz B.

I met Cindy through the local PIHRA chapter after being laid off from Driftwood Dairy. I feverishly sent out my resume letting everyone on the planet know I was searching for new opportunities. Cindy contacted me and shared that she was interested in submitting my resume for the HR Director position with the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. I was excited when I met and interviewed with the President/CEO and even more excited when I was offered the role. I have been with the Food Bank for almost 16 years and Cindy was God-sent to help me land the job of a lifetime. Since then, Cindy has helped the Food Bank with other roles and shared great industry expertise. Thank you, Cindy, for all you do, congratulations on 25 years! Keep doing what you do best!

Director of Human Resources

Alice C.

Cindy is one of the best recruiters I have ever known. As a Human Resources manager, I relied on her expertise for over 20 years, and today, I am proud to call her a friend. Cindy's honesty, warmth, and genuine care for people have always stood out. Throughout my career as an HR practitioner—from Manager to VP in the manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution sectors with companies like CalComp, Springs Industries, and Vans—Cindy was an invaluable asset. She consistently made me look good by bringing in the right people, even before the era of the Internet!

Human Resources Manager

Jacquelyn T.

From start to finish Cindy was there for me every step of the way. The company I was interviewing with truly respected and thought highly of her referrals. She always made herself available to me and had valuable input and feedback for every phase of the interview process. She made a normally tedious and sometimes frustrating process smooth and enjoyable. She was, without a doubt a very integral part of my hiring! I strongly endorse Cindy and her firm for all your recruiting needs.
